Matt, maybe you should join them, that way you won't have to get stressed out over certain threads .......LOL

Nobody is "stressed" - we know how FA goes for us and we aren't going to be making trades. And again, it seems pointless to continue posting every player that hits the trade block like we have an actual interest.

I don't even know how this is really relevant to the Cowboys anyways.

Just messing with you Matt......but, to be honest, I actually agree. Here have some ice cream (LOL)

Agreed. Threads are leaving the front page in under a day right now and I keep having to dig through a page of whining and news about other teams to find the good threads where people are being reasonable, if only for a moment.

I'm not excusing our front office, but I don't really understand fans sometimes. Earl Thomas is one thing. He's a generational talent but he's also older and expensive. That's complicated. But we've been signing guys like Marcus Golden for years and fans weren't happy about those moves. Remember Mincey and Mayowa? They were affordable pass rushers who happened to be our most productive players some years because our talent around them was terrible. Are Marcus Golden and Shaq Barrett closer to a Khalil Mack or a Benson Mayowa? If you want top end talent you need to either get lucky in the draft or go all in via trade or free agency (see the Bears with Mack). We don't really have many options at DE without a 1st round, with Gregory gone forever, and with Golden and Barrett the best FAs available.

At this point, Houston is the only good option at DE in FA. A healthy Ansah is probably better. But he rarely healthy.
